  A. Primary Rules for Chapters 84-90 applicable  to primary rules contained in Column (3
) 
 
1. Limitations on change in classification rules in the matrix .- Where satisfaction of the rules of 
this Chapter results solely fro m the following circumstances, origin shall be determined as 
indicated herein: 
(a) Goods obtained by disassembly  
A change of classification which results from the disassembly of goods shall not be 
considered as the change required by the rule  set forth in the matrix.  The country of 
origin of the parts recovered from the goods  shall be the country where the parts are 
recovered, unless the importer, exporter or  any person with a justifiable cause to 
determine the origin of parts demonstrates a nother country of origin on the basis of 
verifiable evidence such as origin marks on the part itself or documents.  
(b) Collection of parts  
Where a change in classification results from the application of HS General 
Interpretative Rule 2(a) with respect to co llections of parts that are presented as 
unassembled articles of another heading or subheading the individual parts shall retain their origin prior to such collection.   
(c) Recertification or retesting
 
A change of classification which results from the recertification or retesting of the 
good shall not be considered as the change re quired by the rule set out in the matrix. 
(d) Assembly of the collection of parts  
Goods assembled from a collection of part s classified as the assembled good by 
application of General Interpretative Rule 2 shall have origin in the country of 
assembly, provided the assembly would have satisfied the primary rule for the good 
had each of the parts been presented separately and not as a collection. 
2. Additional Primary Chapter Rule  – When Chapter Rule 1 does not apply and the other 
primary rules in this Chapter are not met in th e last country of production, the following shall 
be applied in sequence: 
(a) Parts and accessories produced from blanks 
(1) The country of origin of goods that are produced from blanks which, by 
application of the HS General Interpre tative Rule 2(a), are classified in the 
same heading or subheading as the comp lete or finished goods, shall be the 
country in which the blank was finished provided finishing included configuring to final shape by the removal of material (other than merely by honing or polishing or both), or by forming processes such as bending, 
hammering, pressing or stamping. 
(2) Paragraph 1 above applies to goods class ifiable in provisions for parts or parts 
and accessories, including goods specifically named under such provisions, and to goods classifiable in headings 84.80 and 84.83.  
[(b) When the good is produced from materials or components that changed classification 
but did not satisfy the primary rule applicable to the good, the country of origin of the  G/RO/W/111/Rev.3 
 Page 231 
 
 
  good is the country that furnished all or the major portion of that material or 
component. 
(c) The following rules apply only to goods classifiable under provisions for “parts” or 
“parts and accessories” and which are not described by name in the Harmonized System, applied in sequence. 
  (1) Goods produced by assembly of 5 or more parts(whether or not originating), 
other than parts provided for in rule A2 (c)(3) shall have origin in the country 
of assembly. 
  (2) Goods produced as a result of pr ocessing non-originating components other 
than parts provided for in rule A2(c)(3) into a device or apparatus capable of 
performing one or more new mechanical or electrical functions shall have 
origin in the country of such processing. 
  (3) The following parts shall not be counted for purposes of rule A2(c)(1) nor 
shall the operations described be deemed  to result in a new mechanical or 
electrical function for purposes of rule A2(c)(2):  
    (i) the attachment of machinery to a base; 
    (ii) the installation of machinery or apparatus into cabinets or 
similar encasements; 
    (iii) the attachment of parts of general use as defined in Note 2 to 
Section XVI of the Harmonized System or similar parts of 
plastic (Chapter 39) ; 
    (iv) the attachment of handles, dials, knobs, hand cranks, and 
other consumer-ope rated controls; 
    (v) the attachment of a power cord  or change of mains 
voltage/frequency by adding transformer, adapter or 
converter; 
    (vi) the installation of batteries, accumulators, sensors, 
thermostats or other articles not designed to become a 
permanent part of the good; 
    (vii) the attachment of accessories or parts (including printed 
circuits with components assembled thereon), which serve 
only to enhance the operation of the machine or device; 
    (viii) the addition of manuals, warranty cards, certificates of 
conformance to standards (with or without testing), or labels; 
  (ix) washing, cleaning; removal of dust, oxide, oil, paint or other 
coverings; 
    (x) simple painting and polishing operations; 
    (xi) affixing or printing marks, labels, logos and other

  B. Residual  Rules for Chapters 84-90 applicable to rules contained in Column (3
) 
 For purposes of Rule 3(d) of Appendix 2  the following residual rules shall be applied in 
sequence: 
1. For goods classifiable under provisions for “p arts” or “parts and accessories” and which are 
not described by name, the country of origin shall be the country of assembly provided the 
goods are produced by the assembly of two or more parts  (other than parts of general use, as 
defined in Note 2 to Section XV or similar parts of plastic (Chapter 39)), and one or more of 
the parts (other than parts of general use, as de fined in Note 2 to Section XV or similar parts 
of plastic (Chapter 39))  satisfies the requirements for origin in the country of assembly.  For 
purposes of this rule, the following parts sha ll not be counted nor shall the operations 
described be deemed to be origin conferring operations: 
(e) the attachment of machinery to a base; 
(f) the installation of machinery or apparatus into cabinets or similar encasements; 
(g) the attachment of parts of general use as defined in Note 2 to Section XV of the 
Harmonized System or similar parts of plastic (Chapter 39); 
(h) the attachment of handles, dials, knobs , hand cranks, and othe r consumer-operated 
controls; 
(i) the attachment of a power cord  or change of mains vo ltage/frequency by adding 
transformer, adapter or converter; 
(j) the installation of batteries, accumulators, sensors, thermostats or other articles not 
designed to become a permanent part of the good; 
(k) the attachment of accessories or parts (including printed circuits with components 
assembled thereon), which serve only to enhance the operation of the machine or 
device; 
(l) the addition of manuals, warranty cards, certific ates of conformance to standards (with 
or without testing), or labels; 
(m) washing, cleaning; removal of dust, oxi de, oil, paint or other coverings;

(o) affixing or printing marks, labels, logos a nd other distinguishing signs on products or 
their packaging;  or 
(p) the installation of software. 
2. When the good is produced from materials orig inating in a single country that did not undergo 
the change in classification or did not otherwi se satisfy the primary rule applicable to the 
good, the country of origin is the country  in which those materials originated; 
3. The country of origin shall be the country of origin of that  material (or functional element) 
that gives the good its essential character, to th e extent to which the principle of essential 
character can be applied.  Otherwise, the country  of origin shall be the country in which the 
major portion of those materials originated , as determined on the basis of weight.]  G/RO/W/111/Rev.3

  C. Notes for Chapters 84-90 applicable to primary rules contained in Column (4 ) 
(a) Application of the value added rule  
1. The term " x% value added rule " shall mean manufacture where the increase in value 
acquired as a result of working and processing, and if applicable, the incorporation of parts originating 
in the country of manufacture represents at least x%  of the ex-works price of the product. "X" is the 
percentage indicated for each heading. 
2. The term " ex-works price " shall mean the price to be paid for the product obtained to the 
manufacturer in whose undertaking the last working or processing is carried out (this price shall not 
include internal taxes which are, or may be , repaid when such product is exported); 
3. The term " value acquired as a result of working and processing and incorporation of 
parts originating in the country of manufacture " shall mean the increase in value resulting from 
the assembly itself, together with any preparator y, finishing and checking operations, and from the 
incorporation of any parts originating in the count ry where the operations in question were carried 
out, including profit and the general costs borne in that country as a result of the operations; 
4. The term " value of non-originating materials " means the customs value at the time of 
importation of the non-originating materials used, or , if this is not known and cannot be ascertained, 
the first ascertainable price paid for the materials in the country of importation. 
(b) Primary rules with regard to change in classification  
1. Goods obtained by disassembly 
 A change of classification which results from the disassembly of goods shall not be 
considered as the change required by the rule set fort h in this Appendix.  The country of origin of the 
parts recovered from the goods shall be th e country where the parts are recovered. 
2. Collection of parts 
 Where a change in classification results from the application of HS General Interpretative 
Rule 2(a) with respect to collections of parts that are presented as unassembled articles of another heading or subheading the individual parts shall reta in their origin prior to such collection.   
3. Recertification or retesting 
 A change of classification which results from the recertification or retesting of the good shall 
not be considered as the change required by the rule set out in this Appendix. 
4. Assembly of the collection of parts 
 Goods assembled from a collection of parts classi fied as the assembled good by application of 
General Interpretative Rule 2 shall have origin in the country of assembly, provided the assembly 
would have satisfied the primary rule for the good ha d each of the parts been presented separately and 
not as a collection. 
(c) Primary rules with regard to parts and accessories produced from blanks
 
1. The country of origin of goods that are produced from blanks which, by application of the HS 
General Interpretative Rule 2(a), are classified in the same heading or subheading as the complete or G/RO/W/111/Rev.3 
Page 234  
 
  finished goods, shall be the country in which th e blank was finished provided finishing included 
configuring to final shape by the removal of materi al (other than merely by honing or polishing or 
both), or by forming processes such as bending, hammering, pressing or stamping. 
2. Paragraph 1 above applies to goods classifiab le in provisions for parts or parts and 
accessories, including goods specifically named under such provisions, and to goods classifiable in 
headings 84.80 and 84.83. 
(d) Application of Residual Rule 3(f) of this Appendix - major portion rule
 
 For the purposes of Chapters 84-90, the criteri on used to determine the major portion of the 
materials as set forth in Rule 3(f) of this Appendix is their value.]
